Good morning ladies,
I have a question. My son went in as an E3 and will be a Seabee after A school. I want to make a sign for him and put his rate and rank on it but my husband says he will not be a Seabee (so I can't put CM) on it until after A school. So what should I put on the sign? Is constructionman okay?

My first question is a sign for your hotel? Asking because signs are not allowed at PIR.
Your husband is correct his rating will not be CM (construction mechanic) after graduation he will be a CN (constructionman).

I want to say thank you to all the ladies here. This adventure has been incredibly hard on me and ya'll have given me so much support. I honestly thought I could handle this better. Silly me! My husband was a Seabee for 22 years so I thought it would be similar. Its not. I was a command Ombudsman for 11 years. I know how the military works. I thought I would understand this process. I don't. Mostly I thought I would stop crying after a few days. I haven't. I am a strong, confident woman, who has packed up and moved out of the country with less than 24 hours notice. By myself with a 2 year old. I can handle anything. We were stationed overseas when 9/11 happened and we had no clue as to what was going on except that the base was on radio silence, electric was turned off and we were not allowed out of our house. I handled that fine. But this has turned me into a scared mess. When I dwell on my fears ya'll have offered me real encouragement ( I worry constantly about my SR. . My SR is my one and only, just turned 18 2 weeks before he left, and as headstrong and stubborn as the come. Not exactly the moldable type. I want him to succeed in whatever he choses but selfishly I want him to come home.) Karin417-14/DIV104 you have been incredible. For those who have shared your letters...Thank you so much! Most importantly ya'll have made me feel like I am not going through this alone. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Wow woman ! You are incredible! Thank you for your husbands and your service! No wonder your so concerned, you've lived it! You know! Of course it a totally different experience when it's your child, this is the outlet along w friends and family to help you get through this, def a roller coaster ride for all of us, but for you knowing so much about service life I would think it would be much more emotional! Praying for you and your SR everyday! Gods in control! JEREMIAH 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,declares The Lord, plans to prosper you,not to harm you, plans to give you Hope and a Future.
